Chi-dependent intramolecular recombination in Escherichia coli.

Genetics - 1 Feb 1998

Abstract excerpt

Homologous recombination in Escherichia coli is enhanced by a cis-acting octamer sequence named Chi (5'-GCTGGTGG-3') that interacts with RecBCD. To gain insight into the mechanism of Chi-enhanced recombination, we recruited an experimental system that permits physical monitoring of intramolecular...
